Whangaroa County

Whangaroa County was formerly a riding of Mongonui County and is one of the smallest counties in New Zealand. It is bounded on the north by Mongonui County, on the south and west by Hokianga, and on the east by the Bay of Islands. There are 260 ratepayers, with 450 ratable properties valued at £50,634, on which a rate of 1d in the £ is levied; unoccupied Crown and native lands are valued at £2,797. The annual income is about £450, to which Government grants are added for special works from time to time. The control of the public wharf is vested in the Council, and the dues received are expended in keeping the wharf and goods shed in repair.
